“I was sponsored to be a camp counselor at the EAA Air Academy, and the leadership skills I learned there have helped me through my ROTC field training and also with the cadets I now train.”
~ Patrick Pelletier

“My favorite part of the camp was co-piloting a Cessna 162 Skycatcher, experiencing zero-G dives and a two-G turn. It was exhilarating and has inspired me to pursue my own private pilot’s license.”
~ Kevin Patterson-Schiff

“It was great to be surrounded by others who love aviation, and my time at the EAA Air Academy gave me the motivation I needed to pursue aviation as my career.”
~ Sammie Perez

“I enjoyed the flight in the Cessna SkyCatcher. I was finally able to grasp the understanding of coordinated turns. Simulator time wouldn’t compensate for the short amount of time I was able to spend executing these turns”
~ Patrick Galt

“I would encourage anyone to attend the EAA Air Academy. It was 11 days that I will always remember and changed me in a great way.”
~ Abby Perkins
